Digital public infrastructure was a niche term just a year or two ago. Today, it’s a globally recognized driver of economic development. This is in large part thanks to the efforts of the G20 this year.

As we collectively face extraordinary and unprecedented challenges, we need technology to work for us in advancing, not undermining, our goals.

As governments build out identity, payment, civil registration, and other foundational layers of digital public infrastructure, civil society organizations, privacy advocates, and others are understandably raising concerns over surveillance and privacy.

Digitization has enormous potential to catalyze development and improve the lives of hundreds of millions around the world through access to financial services, health care, and education.
